Perspicace conjured a late burst to get his head in front over 2m4f at Worcester 10 days ago but an 8lb rise looks harsh and he was worn down over this trip at Towcester earlier by JINSHA LAKE, who meets him on identical terms. Evan Williams' charge may be capable of further improvement so gets the vote. Marley Joe showed improved form to win at Huntingdon 12 days ago but Mr Kite looks to have a bit to find on his handicap debut. Alyasan could bounce back at any time and course and distance second One Cool Boy is another to consider.
